From the time I took these pics there are already some changes (of course).....

Peek at Home Pics

Hi ladies,

I've changed my blog, except for the header. I'm having trouble with Foto Flex. I should be able to get into Foto Flex some time today or tomorrow. In the meantime, here is just a peek at my home pics to enjoy. I tried to keep them in order, but since I have soooooo many pics and I work with two different pic programs, it was a little difficult to keep them in order..Well, here goes....




New Name

Hi all,

I wanted to share an update with you--I'll be renaming my blog. I've recently started to get more serious about my art and decided to start an art blog. I will no longer have my personal blog--it will now be one of the same.

I'll be sharing my art as well as art journaling, and my home pics and such. I'll be informing the sorority soon.

I'll speak to you soon.

Abby

P.S. Any scrappers out there--I'm looking for a scrapping buddy.....

Thank You Sisters

Just wanted to say "Hello" and "Thank You" to my followers and Sister on Bloggerette. I hope you can continue to follow me. I'll certainly be following as many of you as I can as soon as I get a chance to stop by your blogs.

I'm currently reorganizing my art studio and working on some paper crafts I'll share with you as soon as I have enough pics--any scrappers out there?

One Favorite Shop

Hello Ladies,

Here are some pics of this cute little shop right across from the antique shop in Hershey, PA. Since I don't live in New York anymore I don't get to see a whole lot of unique items here in this area, so I always come in here for some of my unique finds.







As you can see I like to take lots of pictures, so there are lots more pics coming your way.

Finally, A Decision And Some Pics

Hi Ladies,

I finally made a decision on my background and header for this blog. I think I like this for now. I'll probably change it in a few months as the Holidays approach.

Anyway, I hope you like it. I wanted to be more creative, but I'm doing too many things at once and I don't have the time right now.

Here are some pics of one of my favorite shops here in PA. Since I have soooo many pics, I'll show you the inside of this shop tomorrow.

As soon as I get some time, I plan on learning how to do a collage of pics so they won't take up so much space. If anyone knows how to do this, please let me know.

Also, please feel free to share anything else you think might be fun to learn.

Some Pics of Recent Hauls

Hi everyone!

As promised, I'm back with some pics. These pics are some of my recent hauls in all my favorite shops. Enjoy!


I just fell in love with the color of this pictcher.

Just a few pickings from T.J. Maxx--aren't you crazy about that shop?

I just had to pick this up--it says "Delight in the beauty that surrounds you." I like to display sayings around my home that mean something to me and inspire me to enjoy life, be thankful to God, and be creative.

This is my lovely lady bust I had my eye on for a while and I finally picked her up. She's from one of my favorite antique shops. She looks beautiful in our bedroom.

This plaque was a Goodwill find and it was gorey looking rust, green and mustard color and I spray painted it white, of course.

Still Working on Blog

Hello Ladies,

Just thought I would update you a bit about my blog. I'm still working on the header for this blog and I will post new pics and comments within the next few days--I've been really busy.

I've finally started doing some paper art and scrapbooking (not so much with large albums, but mini albums, art journals, and other paper crafts). I prefer to have my large journals hold textiles and momentos that remind me of the event and not take too much time designing a page (I'd rather take that time for my mini albums, paper crafting and other projects). If I accumulate pictures until I have time, they will have to wait a while and it will just get to be a real chore instead of something fun.

I'm also working on some ideas of delicious follies I plan to post on my business blog, and my shop (as soon as I create them)---so many plans and so little time.

Anyway, I'm off to work now. I'll write in a few days with pics and stories of my shabby chic hauls (for those of you who don't watch You Tube, that just means my shabby chic finds).

Thanks for stopping by.....

Abby
